Uniform

All school wear can be purchased from the Schoolwear Centre, 69A West Gate, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, NG18 1RU

We have a school uniform, which looks very smart and is greatly respected by the local community. In applying and accepting a place at St Philip Neri with St Bede Catholic Voluntary Academy, the Governors expect parents to uphold the recommended dress code and appreciate their support in this matter. Certain items of uniform are available through the school. Details of the uniform for school use AND physical education are described as:

The uniform for PE is: Plain black shorts, plain white t-shirt, black plimsolls. Older pupils may require tracksuits and football boots or trainers for outdoor games. More details can be found here.

Jewellery

In the interest of your child’s safety, NO jewellery is to be worn at school - unless you submit a letter giving good reason why it should be worn. Should jewellery need to be worn, your child will be asked to remove it prior to the practical lesson.

Hair Styles

Long hair must be tied back for health and safety reasons. Hair must not be excessively short or long. Hair must NOT have patterns, shapes or be dyed with bright colours. If in doubt, check with the Head or senior staff before having a cut/treatment. Any hairstyle or dress which may cause others fear, or which may cause excessive comment or distress will not be allowed.
